🚀 Space investor betting on the future.

Big believer in $ASTS + $RKLB 🌎🛰️

Investing in the space economy, one launch at a time.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@Gunwalls1 Yep, totally agree with you. My original post may have been a bit too pessimistic. I just wish they’d waited and announced the exact same thing alongside a launch date for B14–16.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

Kinda wish they stayed silent on this non update. $ASTS

[AST SpaceMobile @AST_SpaceMobile]

Execution in motion.

Across our Texas manufacturing facilities, more BlueBird satellites are moving through every stage of production as we build the world’s first space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones.

We invented a new way to design, manufacture and deploy large-scale space infrastructure: advanced lightweight composite structures, stackable architecture and repeatable production at a scale never before achieved for commercial communications satellites.

More BlueBirds. More capacity. More connectivity.
🇺🇸📶🌎📱

Build. Stack. Launch. Repeat.

BREAKING: Rocket Lab launches a new space solar cell that is 32% efficient, 40% lighter and completely germanium-free.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

September 8th after hours has been very kind to space investors.

$ASTS gets another major breadcrumb toward defense sensing/radiolocation.

$RKLB drops a new production ready, high efficiency space solar cell.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

September 8th after hours:

$ASTS — SDA formally backs BlueBird radiolocation testing tied to national security and the Space Based Sensing & Targeting portfolio.

$RKLB — launches IMM Apex, a 31.5% efficient, 40% lighter, germanium-free space solar cell now entering production.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@kellymetz2000 This is easily one of the most important aspects of $RKLB.

Losing the MTN prime contract doesn’t mean Rocket Lab is cut out of the broader opportunity.

That’s the beauty of not being just a launch company $RKLB can still compete across spacecraft, components, payloads, etc

[Endless Capit🅰️l @endless_frank]

$ASTS Been nearly 2 months since we shipped any satellites. I hate when management leaves us in the dark. How do we at least not have an update today and at least 1 more satellite ready to ship?

I’d stop hiring people for anything other than making satellites at this point.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

$ASTS This could be HUGE.

Japan just filed “J-BLUEBIRD-NGSO” at the ITU for a 136-satellite constellation across 34 orbital planes.

That does NOT mean 136 satellites are ordered yet but it strongly supports the idea that J-LEO could become a sovereign Japanese network.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

The Rakuten deal is exactly what we’ve been waiting for with $ASTS.

Governments are now willing to fund sovereign D2D infrastructure at massive scale.

Nearly $1B validates the model. Japan won’t be the last. Expect more countries to follow.

[SpacBobby @SpacBobby]

$ASTS - J-LEO will be one of many similar deals that AST SpaceMobile gets awarded as they have the only "sovereign-capable" D2D architecture in the market.

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

🚨 $ASTS 🇯🇵

Rakuten just reinforced the AST SpaceMobile thesis in a BIG way.

📡 Commercial satellite-to-phone service targeted for Q4 2026
🇯🇵 Selected for Japan’s J-LEO domestic satellite network project
🛰️ Infrastructure designed to keep Japan connected even during emergencies

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

It’s Sept. 3. It’s been 29 days since BB11-13 launched on Aug. 5, and we still don’t have a date for BB14-16.

AST said on Aug. 10 they’d be ready to ship shortly. If cadence is the key to ~45 satellites by early 2027, we need an update soon. $ASTS

@RocketLabrador You need a stage and a mic

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@RocketLabrador @Peter_J_Beck Best tweet of the day. If I could buy you a beer I would #fuckthefatchicks

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@Mo_likeyou @RKLBMan Thank you!!

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@RKLBMan MTO is not our only chance at a massive Mars contract we still have MSR on the table. What are your thoughts there? $RKLB

[RocketLaborious @RocketLaborious]

@RKLBMan Hmm, interesting. Just curious where did you see that, or what led you to that conclusion?
